Well first, I agree that they will not stop making Pokemon games at this point because they make tons of money and stuff.

My second point is if Nintendo were dumb enough to drop Pokemon, don't you think other companies would pick up Pokemon and start maknig it (seeing as how it makes so much money)?

So see, if Nintendo quits (THEY WON'T), then another gaming company is bound to pick it up.

I can certainly see that reading comprehension isn't your strength. I said no one HERE, where I live, cares, yet you say people do care, and they want to battle me. Yeah, I can certainly see a lot of people asking me to battle everyday. Then you say professional gamers beat every game to the entirety. What if it was crappy game that the person is playing? I'm sure he'd waste his time playing it, just to beat it since he's a "professional gamer". No one plays Pokemon more than I realize. I can as well see for myself. When will you ever get it through your head?
Now you're implying POkemon is a bad game, which it isn't and no good POkemon Fan should say otherwise. Do you even belong here? >8(

So if people consider something "so good", it would never die? People thought the NES was so good at the time it was released, and I'm sure a lot of people are crying themselves every night because they don't have one. Scooby Doo's such a bad example of that. No one here likes the show, and the games suck just as bad. I see you're putting Pokemon right up there with the TV. I'm sure it's such a great invention. What if Nintendo died one of these days? What if no one cares about Pokemon anymore? What if they don't get money out of it anymore? Oh no, the idea of buying the theme park to make it something else other than Pokemon would never cross anybody's mind at the time.
Quit with the sarcasm, it shows your stupidity. Nintendo will not die, because Nintendo is teh father of all modern game systems beyond Xbox. You don't know any of that is true, and you have no proof to show me otherwise. When I mentioned my town, I gave legitimate numbers and figures, as well as comparison to previous years. And how on earth woudl tehy turn something like a gyarados roller coaster and a Zigzagoon spinning cups and things like that into a new park? Do you realize how costly that will be? And people won't care what the rides look like, so if anything, they'll keep it the same if someone buys it. so they'll still have to pay POkemon Co. A fair amount of money, which should be jsut enough to produce on. Start debating properly, because it's no fun when the person you're debating against flaunts his ignorance.

You said that girls want to be girls or whatever, but it's just, afterall, a sprite change. Girls would cry themselves one after another if there wasn't a character selection you see. It sure prevents them from playing the game. I see no girls ever played Super Mario Bros. because it didn't have a girl character to play with. Too bad the Pokemon craze has slowed down a lot as soon as Pokemon Crystal has been released. Oddly enough, it was the first game that had character selection.
It slowed down because it was mor or less the same. The only changes were the sprite change, Eucene, teh slight movement of the sprites, and being able to catch Suicune easier. That doesn't exactly qualify as enough changes to make a whole new game about. And People do care about being able to pikc their sprite, because it gives them more control, and people like to Identify with the character. Why do you think at all these different conventions for anime's you see people coming in hand-made costumes of characters from said anime? People treat these characters as rolemodels, and if tehy can't be more like them, then make them more like you. That's the philosophy.

When I say Colloseum doesn't feature new Pokemon, I meant that it doesn't feature never-before seen Pokemon like Gold/Silver or Ruby/Sapphire. Have you got problems with reading and understanding too?
I think you have problems with the understanding of Colloseum's purpose. It wasn't to show any new pokemon. That would be going against the standard. It's to provide a 3d battling arena for pokemon that currently exist. And The story mode was simply a new concept they were trying out. Revealing New pokemon is reserved for the gameboy games only.

And about your debate thingie, you said that what you say has to be facts, or else it wouldn't count. You also said that "Only amteurs play it for a short run and then drop it play something else for an equally short period of time", which is, afterall, an opinion. Whoa, you blew it there. A debate where you only state facts my ***.
Your *** indeed. People who don't really like playing video games are the only ones I've seen who play it for a short while and then stop. But good players, who consider it a strike to their pride to NOT beat the game entirely, will play it through despite whether they like it or not.

You better watch your temper and your tounge, because you're not proving anything except how unreasonable you are. At least I back up my claims with accounst of what I've seen and heard.

Mmmm.Well, I don't think you're right, 'cos if Nintendo dropped Pokemon and as you say other companies pick it up, I don't think it will make much money anymore because
1. They won't have many ideas.
2. They might change the design and make it worst or more unconfortable for Pokemon old players
3. The Pokemon might be more but may lack of style, so people won't like them anymore
and 4. Some people might just not like another company doing pokemon or they might not like playing Pokemon on another console, like it happened with the computer game Counter Strike that if I'm not wrong went on Xbox instead of going on computer and some people started not to like it.


But overall I'll give you my opinion which is that I don't think that Nintendo will ever leave Pokemon. Maybe they will just run out of new ideas but, afterall, Pokemon has been a great attraction for adults and kids from lots of years now. There's even the manga!
YOU! Do you know what the fine is for reading?

I never said that Pokemon was a bad game, I just stated an example. You seem to have a problem with that. You said that Pokemon Colloseum is so good, but yet you also said that what makes new Pokemon games good were the new Pokemon. If that so, then why is Pokemon Colloseum so good? Just because it's 3D doesn't make it any good. If having new pokemon was for GB games only, then why did you say there will be new Pokemon in the future? No "Game Boy" systems are planned to be released at the moment. There's the DS, and there's also the new home console, codenamed N5. I'm pretty sure it won't be called "GameBoy" when it's released.

Sarcasm represents stupidity, that's why all of the humorous people in the world are stupid. I see.

Appearantly I have to "watch my tounge" on the internet, though I'm not on a voice chat. While I could follow your advice and watch my "tounge", but this has nothing to do with my mind and finger tips. I don't care if I prove anything or not, 'cause all I do care about at the moment is just arguing because I'm bored. By arguing back, you're just being my free entertainment.

By arguing, you're ruining this topic, so I suggest you cut it out, NOW! XD
Anyways, I doubt they'll stop Pokemon, it's too popular. Colosseum is cool because they made a 3D RP, which is new to the Pokemon world, there was also a new land to explore and new enemies.

Let me repharse taht then. reserved for "NIntendo handhelds". and I not once said it was all about new pokemon. I said it was about the pokemon, but not about all new ones. I said it was pokemon and change, and that was what was important. And Colloseum is a big change from teh way they used to do it.

Sarcasm represents stupidity, that's why all of the humorous people in the world are stupid. I see.
in a debate it does, because it signifies the debater's lack of anything contructive to say. This is something I learned from my Government teacher. And my Government teacher has been tecahing for 35 years, and only .0002% percent of his students ever failed to make it through a governemnt College class, and that was because one killed his mom and the other killed his stepmom, so they both ended up in jail. He was so considerate to put it in numbers for us. So you can't deny what he says is true. He's been aroudn teh block, and he has more credibility than you. :\

Well, what makes Pokemon Colosseum so good is that it has a different storyline from all the other pokemon games and that you can actually see the size of the Pokemon and how they fight. It doesn't matter for now if there are new pokemon or not because Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire just came and so did the new pokemon.

Sarcasm represents stupidity, that's why all of the humorous people in the world are stupid. I see.
Am I right or are you saying that you are stupid? Because you are sarcastic and if you say that sarcasm represents stupidity that means you say that you are stupid yourself aren't you? :surprised

How sarcastic... If you don't know, what he meant was to stop writing bad words and to calm down because you're taking it too seriously...


Anyway, why are you even arguing about it? You should be a Pokemon fan, not an against-pokemon person... I don't even know if this forum is for you afterall...

Oh well of course, everything has to end but.... it depends when it will end.... as an example put mario, in business it would be an idiot decision to take mario off the market and as far as i know also Pokemon. They are some big business and cannot end just like this, unless replaced by something that is already booming and will make them die slowly.... but apparently they are the biggest marked nintendo has and unless nintendo wants to retire and close the business, they will keep on living for this time being. of course, nothiing has no end, so there will b, but how soon? surely not soon enough just like this. as an example, do you think mc donalds will ever stop making the big mac? as in business its called, its their cash cow, and its a great success and will not end that soon.... i guess pokemon and mario are something like that... you cannot take them out just like this.

Not trying to be the big downer, but Pokemon could die. Remember Sega? They were so old school and now look at them, there gone and no one seems to care. Stuff happens, who know what will vanish next.

As I said, unless the nintendo closes there is no chance that pokemon may be killed like this... it just would not make business sense.

Were did I say that? I didn't even mention anything about Nintendo in that post lol. Anything is possible my friend. I'm trying to say this is as nicely as possible when I say that Pokemon isn't as popular as it was in '98. I had to ask around for a weeks to even find 1 person who had GSC so I could test out my team. When something does vanish, it leaves signs. As for Emerald version, just because they say its coming out, doesn't mean its always going to. I mean, what ever happened green version?

Green Version was never meant for america. Tehy say it was a Japanese blue, but in reality is was a special edition that supposedly hasd better graphics. Of course, they probably didn't release it in america because such a minor change, and only one of them, isn't exactly big enough to build a whole new game around. :\

LoL you were talking about sega, and sega has kind of closed down, at least on making consoles, so that it why i was talking about nintendo closing down. anyway, i just know that no one can predict the future, so one can just go guessing what is going to happen, and regarding this situation is unlikely that nintendo is going to remove pokemon... unless people start disliking it _
And anyway, I know pokemon is not as famous as it was in 98, but it is still a good market and if they renew it with some good idea it can come out booming again. (hopefully XP)

I agree with Pogiforce-14. Pokemon in my opinion will never die. Sure, it may lose interest with the populace after awhile, but it will still go on in the hearts and minds of those who remember playing the game (video game or card game) or watching the show. Pokemon will never die as long as people still have interest in it.
After being a member for so long, I have lost interest in this place. I've had alot of good times here, and bad ones too. I will not forget anyone from here. This is my final goodbye, and farewell.

You know I highely think Pokemon won't end neither until Nintendo stops making money. Nintendo won't just drop Pokemon in a trash can just because of it dying out. I was reading the past posts and I like Pogiforce-14 & Barries thinking.

*sighs* There were threads just like this at SPP too. Well, Nintendo may stop making Pokemon merchandise, but that doesn't mean we have to stop loving it. This forum will still be here, I am sure, if Nintendo stops making more games. Plus, then we don't have to worry about finishing the newest game as fast as possible before the next one comes out. XD

NO worries, because they aren't going to jsut drop it like a bad habit. It's a Nintendo Trademark, and like all trademarks, it's going to be around for the long run.

You're all insanely retarded. Seriously. Everybody knows that Nintendo wouldn't drop Pokemon out of the blue, just like how any company would keep something if it gets them money. That's the reason why it's there. But the kid here says that Pokemon will last forever, and that's kind of stupid as people will eventually lose their interest on it and it won't get Nintendo anymore money. And also, Pokemon could be whiped if there was a World War 3. I can see it now: "Oh God, there's a Pokemon theme park. Let's not drop an atomic bomb here".

Well of course as I said pokemon won't last forever, because nothing does last forever.

But still, what we mean is that it is not going to disappear just like this because of a nintendo's decision. And anyway, pokemon is still interesting for many people and possibly it will become even more popular... who knows what is going to happen... and the world war 3 thing is just a stupid thing _
Its like if I say pokemon will end because a meteora will hit the planet in 2 years time _ it does not make sense, of course anything can just finish like this but thats not what we were discussing about >_<

And please please please, keep the tone pleasant and dont call people retarded _ We are discussing, not fighting.
